Data Quality

LineageData Set Source:
Original data came from Division of Survey and Mapping's VICBASE. This is 1983 Digital Map of Victoria which was formed using the AUSLIG 1:250000 as its base control. Apparently the 1:250000 maps were reduced to 1:500000 and then digitised as a training exercise by Division of Survey and Mapping.
Collection Method:
Maps
Processing Steps:
SHIRE500 is a subset of the VICBASE data. Local government area boundaries were reselected from this data set. AS2482 coding has been updated in some instances.
Positional AccuracyPrecision: 'Poor'
Determination: Comparison to independent source of higher accuracy (VICROADS data)
Attribute AccuracyOnly the AS2482, digital and analog source and version items have been completed.
Logical ConsistencyNot documented
CompletenessThe state is covered.
